At the time, some listeners were baffled. Today, many see this run as the peak of her ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHejira is the anchor. \"Coyote,\" driven by Jaco Pastorius's liquid fretless bass, and the hushed, wandering \"Amelia\" are among the finest songs she ever wrote, both built on her own restless, open-tuned guitar. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter goes bigger and wilder, with the sixteen-minute \"Paprika Plains\" drifting through piano and orchestra. Mingus, her collaboration with the late jazz giant Charles Mingus, includes a haunting \"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShadows and Light closes the set in concert, with a band that included Pat Metheny, Pastorius and Michael Brecker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the definitive way to hear Mitchell's jazz years in one place. For serious fans, it's an essential addition to the shelf, and a beautifully packaged one at that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518460764465,"sku":"603497827015","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Joni_Mitchell-The_Asylum_Albums_1976-1980_5CD.jpg?v=1794678216","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/joni-mitchell-the-asylum-albums-1976-1980-5cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
